This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I have been thinking, which I shouldn't do
'Cause it gets me in trouble and farther from you
I don't want a sentimental
Short and sweet and confidential Goodbye
My thoughts belong in a book in a store
Where they're silently read, but spoken no more
I didn't give my all and to be honest with you
I didn't even try
Well I want you back so bad
I'm gonna change the way I'm acting
I'm gonna change and I'm so glad
I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you running back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
I have been thinking, again this is bad
It seems that my thinking can drive you quite mad
But you can't say there's another word, though
To call this feeling in my heart
I admit I take advice from more romantic minds
But I can proudly reassure you this idea was all mine
I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you running back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
I admit I take advice from more romantic minds
But I can proudly reassure you this idea was all mine
I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you running back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
I can be romantic, I just got to try to be
I can be romantic, I just got to try to be
'Cause it gets me in trouble and farther from you
I don't want a sentimental
Short and sweet and confidential Goodbye
My thoughts belong in a book in a store
Where they're silently read, but spoken no more
I didn't give my all and to be honest with you
I didn't even try
Well I want you back so bad
I'm gonna change the way I'm acting
I'm gonna change and I'm so glad
I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you running back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
I have been thinking, again this is bad
It seems that my thinking can drive you quite mad
But you can't say there's another word, though
To call this feeling in my heart
I admit I take advice from more romantic minds
But I can proudly reassure you this idea was all mine
I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you running back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
I admit I take advice from more romantic minds
But I can proudly reassure you this idea was all mine
I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you running back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
I can be romantic, I just got to try to be
I can be romantic, I just got to try to be

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this tune is one of my favorites from tyler hilton. it just makes you happy.. great for summertime road trips, or just when you need a little pick-me-up.
the song is about him kinda being in the doghouse for not putting enough heart into his relationship. he's trying to win her back with a love letter, and he's hoping she'll forgive him.
"I admit I take advice from more romantic minds, But I can proudly reassure you this idea was all mine. I'm gonna write you a letter"
...he's so proud of himself, who wouldn't forgive him? and it's a little silly because he thinks that this single act is exactly what she's looking for.
also, i wonder what it is that he was thinking about that got him in trouble... i love the lyrics because my thinking gets me in trouble too sometimes.
"My thoughts belong in a book in a store Where they're silently read, but spoken no more"
lovelovelove i swear, these nashville boys.....
